Great, but not a success story.

Dude, you are so right, I realised too late that all is related to negative emotions after onset. I am sutrggling to retrain my brain to assign the noise with positive feelings. Most people that had if fading soon, most probably managed to ignore it and not become obsessed.

Does anyone know any success story for tinnitus caused by stress and panick attacks? In this case, what is damaged, brain or inner ear? I could not have any explanation from doctors as all my tests were fine.

Tried it for a week daily, results did not last longer, forget to do it recently as I don't think it is a cure.

I think they are similar, both uses one finger to press on the ears to cover them. Improtant is to cover ears and make humm noise, at least 7-8 times while breathin out. Better results if humm noise is more high pitched. But as I said, effect is for very short time.

Did anything on your tinnitus level? Any other side effects like liver issues?

How long are you taking clonazepam, you take daily? I had very low T while I took 1 mg daily for 2 weeks. Even thought T is fading but retured after I stopped. If I take 0.5 does now have same effect, but I am very sleepy all day.

Did this fading happen after you manage to control your emotions towards the tinnitus sound? I think reaction plays a key role. I changed the way I think of it, not fearing it, convinced that it will fade, trying to deeply believe that. No results so far, but hope it will come gradually.

After what amount of time you noticed fading?

I got mine after huge stress period and definetly is related to stress and cortisol, maybe adrenaline, had also panick attacks. After reading that is for life, I got really scared of it and monitored it so I trained my brain to listen for it. Such a huge mistake, if I knew it will go away...

That gives hope. I am 4 months in and did not see any progress and was loosing hope. I manage to totally avoid negative reaction to it so I dont startle or have negative feelings when I hear it, but nothing changed. Hope, in time, I will get to same place. I think if I go to wedding or loud...

Do you sleep in total silence every night? Do you have normal life, going to pubs, drinking?

Any updates on your progress?

I will never know if concussion or the stress that followed afterwards (caused by other symptoms, like numbness in body, continuous bad migraines, faininting sensations) triggered the tinnitus. All these came after long time of bad habits regarding sleep schedule and stressful experiences. So...

I, for myself, tried sound enrichment and white noises, that partially covers tinnitus along with stopping emotional reactions to tinnitus. However, I never experience any fading in perception when I am in silence, has always same baseline level with ocassional spikes.
